Comic-Con: Quentin Tarantino Announces Django Unchained Comic

Sitting in the DC Comics: Before Watchmen panel, Jim Lee showed up to announce a a very special guest: Django Unchained writer/director Quentin Tarantino. The crowd erupted as Tarantino took the stage to announce that DC will be publishing a 5-issue Django Unchained comic book mini-series for release in November. He said that a lot of his movies have plenty of cut material, and that doing the story as a comic allowed space for him to keep his original tale intact without having to chop anything up.

The announcement lasted only a few minutes, but the crowd was excited and energized. There were no details about an artist or if Tarantino would be adapting the script to the comic format himself (doubtful), but DC will likely release more information soon.
